1Co 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: Women usually dress in a manner that makes them feel comfortable. The problem may arise, when what makes some comfortable may discomfort the conscience of some. Conscience sake, not your own but that of the other. We, both male and female ought to take into account what effect our attire will have on others, we ought not to lay a stumbling block before others. Therefore our dresses should be long enough and loose enough to warrant compliments and not lust.
What does Exodus 23:13 mean; and in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
In the preceding verses, God gave Israel some social and moral laws which can be interpreted as loving your neighbors as yourself or what soever you would that men would do unto you, do also unto them. In verse thirteen he admonishes them and thereby us, to be circumspect or cautious. In other words we aught to take heed of his words. Deu 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:
He goes on to say, make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. God is a jealous god, he commands us to have no other gods before him or more accurately besides him. Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
The gentile surrounding the Jews had many gods, a god to supply food, a god for health, a god to provide protection even a god of fertility. The list goes on. But Israel has, one God! And so should we today. 1Co 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Paul is quite explicit, there is only one God. No matter what people may say or do there is only one God, and he is the creator of all things through his son our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul went on to say in verse seven, but not all men have this knowledge. We who have this knowledge therefore, should not even speak about others as though they are God, for this may be considered as blasphemy. For in making mention of them, we are giving them credit no matter how little. And Paul exhorts us in Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Let us adhere to the words of the Lord Remembering, our God is a jealous God. Amen.
JEREMIAH 7 - SELF-DECEPTION AND MINGLED RELIGION
It is time for the watchmen to blow the trumpet: destruction is all around us and Christ is pleading that we should amend our ways. It is only when we walk fully in the word of YHWH we will be able to receive of His manifold blessings, therefore let us take heed to the word of YHWH, to obey is much better than to sacrifice.
